Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say βSend meβ wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
πHere's something I'm sick and tired of hearing:
"Kamala Harris was a bad candidate."
NO SHE WASN'T.
-She was handed a bag of shit, and given 100 days to spin it into gold.
-She ran hard and to win.
-She battered Trump in their only debate.
We'd be very lucky to have her as president right now.
Watch Obama eviscerate the pedophile fΓΌhrer without ever saying his name. π³π
Itβs almost like we didnβt think this through.
Like clockwork.
Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"
Based on my observation, the billionaires, corporate oligarchs, the tech bros, and the crypto bros are destroying the planetβ¦our communities, neighborhoods, infrastructure, families! But there are more of us than them! We can stop them if we all VOTE. Donβt let anyone/anything stop you from voting!
Jennifer Hudson brought down the house at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trumpβs criminal war on Iran, we could:
-Extend ACA subsidies for one year
-Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people
-And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people
Itβs not about what we can afford. Itβs about priorities.
Biden: "Jesse kept hope alive for us, and we've gotta continue to do it in our lifetime for our children. Because there's nothing beyond our capacity when we work together. So stand up! And finish this job."
If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.
NEW: In 2023, ProPublica revealed that Columbia University had ignored women who accused OB-GYN Robert Hadden of sexual assault, enabling the doctor's abuse for decades.
Survivors say they hope school officials will now be held accountable.
The US economy lost 92,000 jobs last month, far worse than expected.

Rev Sharpton is the bomb! What an Icon he is!
it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson:
"He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."
Preach!
Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didnβt think were possible. Each day weβre told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
At the funeral of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rep. Jones and I walk in his footsteps. Our story isnβt possible without the work, advocacy, Organizing, and struggle of Rev. Jackson. Rest in power.
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
I really understand why folks are so overjoyed that Noem has been canned but what does it actually change?
Sheβs being replaced by someone equally terrible.
ICEβs cruelty & lawlessness will go right on.
Miller sets policy for ICE & he reports to Trump.
Trump must be impeached, convicted and removed.
